The Hadley was commissioned on 25 November 1944, decommissioned
15 December 1945 and scrapped shortly after. It lived for only 385 days.
The story of this ship and it's men is unique in naval history in that it applies
to all those men who's names and pictures appear in the following pages.

We of the Hadley understand completely what Kamikazes are.  This is 
happening again and still in the lifetime of some of us.  It might be difficult for 
the younger people to understand their motivation but it is indeed real.  This 
time under the guise of religion these people are giving their lives away just as 
the Japanese did.  Indeed that is what their are doing, given their lives away.
They are truly 21 Century Kamikazes.
